This could work quite well. The important point here, I think, is
that Vodaphone already has a billing relationship with the customer,
so the customer doesn't have to do anything extra at the time of
purchase. (No extra registrations or whatnot.) Whether they're
going to like the hassle of dealing with chargebacks is another
matter, of course....
